Each semester, CEBC invites leading scientists and engineers to share insights about topics relevant to industrial R&D, including technology, management, and business issues. The seminars not only help to identify new directions for future research. They also reinforce the value of current research projects at CEBC. See the calendar for the next presentation

Most presentations are held at 1501 Wakarusa Dr., Lawrence, KS, Building B-104. Participants at remote sites can join the sessions using Adobe DesktopConnect (contact atchison@ku.edu for details).

Industry Colloquia

More than 80 scientists and engineers from 45 leading chemical and petroleum companies have given seminars at CEBC. With typically four or more speakers each semester, our Industry Colloquium Series continues to be a highlight.

Added benefit for students: After each seminar, students and research associates are invited to meet with each invited speaker as part of our LIFE (Learning about Industry from Experts) program.

We also began offering live faculty webinars online to our corporate partners in 2009. The webinars provides free training in cutting-edge academic research. Industry participation has grown, connecting as many as 10 different remote sites per session.
